Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of camera equipment support accessories, specifically relating to a silicone bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of sports photography, action cameras are widely used in extreme sports, outdoor adventures, and other scenarios due to their portability and high impact resistance. A core requirement for recording riding is to stably mount action cameras (such as GoPro and Insta360) on the handlebars of bicycles and motorcycles. Existing handlebar mounting devices mainly employ the following technical solutions:

[0003] Rigid snap-on bracket: Made of ABS engineering plastic or aluminum alloy, it is fixed to the handlebars with a bolt locking structure. This type of structure has significant drawbacks: the rigid material directly transmits vehicle vibrations, resulting in high-frequency shaking in the footage; the fixing hole diameter is not adjustable, making it unable to adapt to handlebars of different diameters, requiring multiple sizes of accessories; the installation process requires the use of tools to tighten the bolts, which is cumbersome and easily scratches the handlebar surface.

[0004] Rubber strap fixing device: Secures the bike by wrapping an elastic rubber strap around the handlebars. While it offers some shock absorption, it suffers from the following technical limitations: rubber materials exposed to outdoor environments for extended periods are prone to aging and hardening, leading to reduced elasticity or even breakage of the strap; relying solely on strap tension for fixation can cause camera displacement during high-speed riding or on bumpy roads; and the lack of an angle adjustment mechanism necessitates the installation of a gimbal to control the shooting angle.

[0005] Furthermore, existing products generally neglect user experience needs, requiring frequent camera disassembly during riding. Traditional threaded locking structures are time-consuming and require two-handed operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a handlebar fixing device that combines high stability, wide adaptability, convenient operation, and long-term durability to meet the practical application needs of the sports photography field.

[0052] The gradient through-hole layout of the strap system and the guiding structure of the hook section work together to provide clear tactile feedback during installation. The composite design of anti-slip protrusions and reinforcing ribs enhances structural reliability while ensuring ease of operation.

[0053] Preferably, the silicone strap 13 has three elliptical strap through holes 14, which are evenly distributed along the length of the strap, and the center-to-center distance between adjacent through holes is 1.5 to 2 times the width of the strap; the area of ​​the strap through holes 14 increases from the connecting end to the end, with an area ratio of 1:1.5:2.5, and the ratio of the major axis length of the largest through hole to the thickness of the hook portion 12 is 3:1 to 5:1;

[0054] The radius of curvature of the arc at the end of the strap is 5-10mm, and the end edge is provided with a chamfer or rounded corner structure.

[0055] Preferably, the thickness of the hook portion 12 is 2-5mm, and the width is 1.2 to 1.5 times the length of the long axis of the through hole at the widest point of the silicone strap 13;

[0056] The length extending to the first end of the arc-shaped support structure 11 is 10-20mm, and the end is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface that matches the shape of the strap through hole 14;

[0057] The inner surface of the hook portion 12 is provided with anti-slip protrusions, the height of which is 0.5-1mm, and they are distributed along the length of the hook portion 12.

[0059] Preferably, the width of the silicone strap 13 gradually increases in a ratio of 1:1.2 to 1:1.5, and the area gradient ratio of the three strap through holes 14 is 1:1.5:2.5, which is suitable for columnar objects with a diameter of 5mm to 30mm.

[0060] The radius of curvature of the arc-shaped guide surface of the hook portion 12 is consistent with the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped end of the strap, and the surface roughness Ra of the guide surface is ≤0.8μm;

[0061] After the straps are wrapped around the cylindrical object, they are hooked onto the hook portion 12 by selecting strap through holes 14 of different areas, so that the straps form a closed loop and lock in place under tension. The anti-slip protrusions are embedded in the edge of the strap through holes 14 to prevent loosening. This silicone bracket adopts a modular design concept, with the main structure comprising two core modules: an arc-shaped support structure and a quick-assembly / disassembly assembly. The arc-shaped support achieves adaptive wrapping through biomimetic design, and its hook portion and gradient straps form a mechanical closed loop, significantly improving adaptability to cylindrical objects of different diameters. The quick-assembly / disassembly structure uses a universal adjustment mechanism, breaking through the single-axis adjustment limitations of traditional fixed brackets and achieving multi-degree-of-freedom positioning in three-dimensional space. This technical solution, through the systematic integration of structural innovation, material optimization, and human-computer interaction design, achieves significant improvements in the functionality, reliability, and user experience of electronic device brackets.
